What are the origins and characteristics of traditional costumes in China?

Traditional national costumes of Han nationality in China, also known as Chinese clothes and Chinese clothes, mainly refer to the decoration system of traditional costumes with unique Chinese cultural characteristics, which is based on the nearly 4,000-year national culture of Huaxia (also known as Han nationality after Han Dynasty) from about 2 1 century BC to the middle of17th century AD.

In other words, China Traditional Costume (Hanfu) is an overall collection of a series of China (Han) national costumes with strong China (Han) national style from Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties to Ming Dynasty.

The main characteristics of Hanfu are horizontal collar and right lap. Instead of buttons, they are tied with ropes, giving people an impression of freedom and elegance. These characteristics are obviously different from the costumes of other nationalities. Hanfu can be divided into formal clothes and regular clothes. From the shape point of view, there are mainly three kinds: "top and bottom clothes" (ancient top refers to bottom skirt), "deep clothes" (top and bottom clothes are sewn together) and "skirt" (short clothes).

Wei and Jin dynasties costumes:

Wei Chu and Cao Wen have formulated a nine-product official system, which takes purple, red and green as the difference of nine products. Since then, this system has been used in successive dynasties until the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. In the Jin Dynasty, besides towels, men with official positions also wore small crowns, and the lacquer sarong crowns with gauze caps on them were originally made by warriors of the Han Dynasty and passed down from generation to generation, not only for male officials, but also for the people and men and women.
